Practical information


Mat fitting/removal

When removing the front mat, push the
seats as far back as possible and remove
the fixings.
When refitting, position the mat correctly
on the pins and clip the fixings. Check that
the mat is secured correctly.

Areas for toll cards/car park tickets

The athermic windscreen has two
non-reflective zones located either side
of the base of the interior mirror.
They are intended for affixing toll cards
and/or car park tickets.
SEATING AREA FITTINGS

Depending on the vehicle's equipment,
the various fittings below enhance your
seating area.

12 volt socket

This operates with the ignition off,
so limit its use to avoid discharging
the battery.
Maximum power: 120 W. To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:


- only use mats suited to the fixings
already present in the vehicle. It is
imperative that these fixings are used.

- never fit one mat on top of another.

Grab handle
Cup holder

Any liquid carried in an open receptacle
(cup or other) may be spilt, presenting a

Manual rear view mirror

The rear view mirror has two positions:


- day (normal),

- night (anti-dazzle).
To change from one to the other, push or
pull the lever on the lower edge of the mirror.
SURVEILLANCE MIRROR

This mirror, placed on top of the central
mirror, enables the driver or front passenger
to observe all the rear seats.
Fitted on its own ball joint, it’s manual
adjustment is simple and provides a view
of the rear interior of the vehicle.
It can also be adjusted for improved
visibility during manoeuvres or when
overtaking.
REAR WINDOWS


2nd row side windows
If fitted on your vehicle, the 2nd row side
windows can be opened.
Squeeze the two controls then move the
window sideways. 4 notches are available.
While driving, the window must be closed or
secured on one of the 4 notches.

3rd row rear quarter lights
These are fixed.

Seat belts

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.

The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle. Guide the seat
belt after unfastening.
The airbag warning lamp comes on if the
pretensioners are deployed. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for children:


- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,

- never allow a child to travel on your lap,
even with the seat belt fastened.

FRONT SEAT BELTS
REAR SEAT BELTS

If your vehicle is fitted with an individual seat
and a 2-seat bench, the 3 seats are fitted
with three-point seat belts and inertia reels.
The centre seat has its seat belt guide and
inertia reel integrated with the seat back. For more information on child seats,
refer to the "Children on board" section
of chapter 4.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your PEUGEOT dealer can
guarantee all work or any checks, from
testing to maintenance, on your seat belt
equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly (even
after a minor impact) by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop: they must not show
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying and they
must not be converted or modified.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by PEUGEOT dealers.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:


- restrain one person only,

- must not be twisted, check by pulling in
front of you with an even movement,

- be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the
seats are fitted with armrests, the lap part of
the seat belt should always pass under the
armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap firmly.

With front airbags

The front seats are fitted with pretensioners
and force limiters.


Without front airbag

If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench
without front airbag, the centre passenger's
seat belt does not have a pretensioner.
In rows 2 and 3, take care to fasten the
correct seat belt in the correct buckle. Do
not mix the seat belt or the buckle of the
side seats with the buckle or the seat belt of
the centre seat.

Airbags
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the centre seats of rows
2 and 3) in the event of a serious collision;
they work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the electronic
detectors record and analyse the front and side
impacts suffered in the impact detection zones:


- in the event of a serious impact, the
airbags inflate instantly and protect the
occupants of the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their possible
exit from the vehicle.


- in the event of a minor or rear impact
and in certain roll-over conditions,
the airbags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone is sufficient to provide
maximum protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision depends on
the nature of the obstacle and the speed of
the vehicle at the moment of impact. It is imperative that the passenger's
airbag is deactivated if a child seat
is installed facing rearwards. Refer to the
"Children on board" section of chapter 4.

Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or
a subsequent accident), the airbag will not
operate.
The deployment of an airbag or airbags
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
